These vintage Kantha textiles come from the Rajshahi region of Bangladesh, where generations of women have practiced the art of Kantha embroidery.
Layers of cotton are patiently quilted together using thousands of tiny running stitches, creating richly textured textiles that are as durable as they are beautiful.
No two pieces are ever the same. Their distinctive geometric patterns, soft palettes, and subtle irregularities reflect the individuality of the maker and the history woven into each textile.
It’s also called “wave “ or Lohori Kantha. The patterns used here are either “soja” ( straight or simple ) , “kautar khupi “ ( triangle ) , “borfi “ ( diamond ) forms .
